Here are some tips to make potty training go smoother.
1. Offer a reward if your child goes potty. Give an m and m if they go potty or have a sticker chart. I have even seen one family give a sticker each time the child went potty and place it on the potty chair itself to decorate it.
2. Dress your child in clothes that they can get down themselves. Do not put them in onsies, jeans that need unbuttoned, belts, or bibs. The best clothes for potty training are sweats outfits that they can easily pull up and down by themselves.
3. Never yell at a child who has had an accident. They are learning how to do it. Remember it most likely took you a while to learn this skill as well.
4. Do not start training until the child has an interest in it. If you are making them go, they may come to resent it and will not go.
